Who says you can't get physically fit without a gym membership? There's no denying that belonging to a gym definitely has its perks. There are countless classes - from spinning to step to Pilates - available at no additional cost. You have access to every machine under the sun, some for which you likely wouldn't have the resources or the space for. And of course, you can consult with the experts if you have questions about your workout routine. So there's no denying the benefits of a gym membership. But if you're short on cash - and time - you can skip the gym and still find a way to get in great shape. Admit it - an at-home workout can also add the element of convenience. Traveling to the gym forces you to allot even more time to your workout. Then you roam the gym waiting your turn for the machines to free up. So in reality memberships don't always have their privileges. Why not invest in your own workout equipment?
